Vagal nerve stimulation has been used to treat refractory seizures and depression in humans. Vagal nerve stimulation in experimental animals have been found to be effective in controlling systemic inflammation. It has been found that animals who had a surgical or chemical vagotomy do not respond well to anti-inflammatory treatment than one in whom vagus is intact. In future, measures to stimulate vagus nerve could help in preventing mortality and morbidity in medical and surgical patients.
